Netflix Is Making A TV Series About Florida Man and It’s Coming This April

Netflix is producing a new television series called ‘Florida Man’ clearly taking inspiration from the many Florida Man memes that have spread through the internet over the past decade or so.

The eight-episode series will premiere on the 13th of April 2023. You can check out a recently released trailer for the show on their youtube channel.

“Murder. Manhunts. Manatees. FLORIDA MAN, a new Netflix limited series from creator Donald Todd (Ugly Betty, This Is Us), follows a struggling ex-cop (Edgar Ramírez) who is forced to return to his home state of Florida to find a Philly mobster’s runaway girlfriend. What should be a quick gig becomes a wildly spiraling journey into buried family secrets, and an increasingly futile attempt to do the right thing in a place where so much is wrong”.

Florida Man memes first circulated around the internet in 2013. They revolve around fictitious (well mostly fictitious) newspaper articles about men from the USA state of Florida performing irrational or absurd actions. From the trailer alone, we’re given a taste of the Florida-induced insanity exuberated by the state’s many residents, as our ex-cop protagonist tries to get in and out as quickly as possible.

Here are some more photos of the series that Netlfix have released to the public:
